Brubold:Actually now Romney gets to revisit the Libya situation again and this time he has quotes from Anderson Cooper, Politico, and even Crowley that back up his statement on the situation. Obama talked about how bad it was for Romney to try and score political points over the attack all while Obama was trying to paint a narrative that made him look blameless before the election.

No, not really. The way Obama framed the situation last night made Romney look like a complete dickwad for politicizing the deaths of four Americans. Does he really want to grab the shovel and pile on that one? Not to mention, bringing it up again will only reinforce how foolish he looked during the debates.

lordjupiter:If you're dumb enough to be "undecided" at this point there's probably nothing a moderator can do or say to sway you.

I heard a caller on NPR this morning that claimed to be undecided. She said she was waiting for the candidates to give more details on their economic plans before deciding. Since she wasn't getting that, she would fall back on the social issues because she knew their stance on those. She didn't say which direction she was leaning. Anyway, apparently that is a common feeling among "undecided" But I agree with you - if you have decided by now with as long as this campaign season has been....

Obama's plans are too full of numbers, and Romney's plans have no numbers. I want someone with just a few numbers. But I guess I can vote based on keeping Mexicans out if I can't have that.

Weaver95:Elandriel: Weaver95: catching the Limbaugh hour right now (@weaverXP if you want to join me) and it looks like the official GOP mantra on this debate loss is going to be 1. Romney won. 2. Obama lost badly and 3. MODERATORS omg moderators so many moderators!

This is exactly what they did in 2008. I hate that they simply cannot accept defeat, ever. There is NO grace and no effort on their part to be anything but rash and stubborn.

Rush is saying that the GOP won, that debates don't matter and that you are stupid if you think Obama beat Romney. Oh, and that debates don't matter, but Romney won and Obama was stuttering and sweating and failure incarnate...not that it mattered because MODERATORS and the lying, so many lies and none of it mattered but if it did matter than Romney won.

or something. Limbaugh is more than a bit incoherent today.

Limbaugh was coherent to begin with?

/He's like a bad rapper. You can't understand anything except the swearwords.

vrax:codergirl42: vrax: codergirl42: Weaver95: I think part of what I find so fascinating about the GOP these days is their absolute belief that they are right and everyone else is wrong. there is zero doubt among any of them. the Democrats watched the first debate and most of them admitted that hey, Romney came out ahead. the GOP tho - Romney got his ass kicked last night and today ALL the Republicans are saying Romney won. they can't admit their guy did poorly.

that's amazing to watch...the almost fanatical religious belief in their own cause. scary sometimes too but still fascinating.

My step sister is one of the die hard republican types but she did admit she thought Obama won the debate. She then proceeded to call the moderator biased.

Zapruder:What he needed to say was,"This was an act of terror. And by 'this' I mean the attack on Benghazi. It was an act of terror in Benghazi. It was a terrible act of terror in Benghazi that was an act of terror. Terror. Benghazi. Benghazi was under a terrorist attack when terrorists attacked Benghazi which was attacked by terror. Benghazi. Terror."

I absolutely think Romney will bring it up in the foreign policy debate.

You have to remember that Republicans believe they are never wrong. They believe that the only reason they didn't score the point on Libya was because Candy was a meanie-head.

What else do they have? Greece? Arab Spring? Apology Tour? Iraq? The Obama administration's foreign policy has been remarkably successful. With the exception of Benghazi the Republicans have nothing.

Which will allow Obama to remind people of Rmoneys smirking press conference and attempt to politicize a tragedy that the blame for which has already been accepted. Not a very bright move. Especially if widows of some of the ones killed go on and condemn the GOP for trying to take advantage.

I agree with you that's it a bad idea, but that won't stop him.

The candidates don't always get to choose what they're going to talk about. The moderator is going to ask about Libya. What is Romney's response? Does he walk his remarks back? Apologize to Obama? Pivot to another subject? I think Romney's ego will prevent him from letting it go. He's going to want to "clarify his position."

I just love how the article forgoes the normal cleaning up that quotations always get in favor of making Crowly look like a stammering idiot. Dude, that's just how people talk in real life. Want me to start quoting Romney word for word and see what kind of bumbling jackass he looks like?

But you know it's pure partisan masturbation when comments on the article are disabled. You know the voices of dissent and skeptical dissatisfaction would permeate the page, so they just shut off conversation.

i hear ya, not one question bout where his real one true birth certificate is, or his social security number, or about rev wright, or how george soros and obama's body double were plotting the lybian attacks in hiding with saul alinksy because obama was too busy gay marrying global warming cult initiates and gave away free abortion certificates to be bothered to hand select the A team to prevent it from happening in the first place.
